Activities at Lawton Manor Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.
Chloe Cameron
This is Chloe and she is our Activities Coordinator here at Lawton Manor. Her job is to physically and mentally stimulate our residents by offering a range of activities for them to enjoy. She wants to get everyone involved and make our home community and atmosphere as positive and welcoming as possible.
Making sure that our residents have things to do that they really enjoy doing is something that Chloe holds very close to her heart. It is so important to make sure that they are happy and enjoy all of the activities and events that we host for them. A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Minibus as we create new, special memories together.

Life at Lawton Manor Care Home
Happy 75th Birthday NHS!
We joyfully marked the 75th Birthday of the NHS this week!
As a gesture of our deep appreciation for their unwavering commitment and support, we thoughtfully assembled goodie bags filled with homemade sweet and savoury treats, which we distributed to our local hospital.
We're grateful for everything the NHS and our local healthcare professionals do, and at Lawton Manor we wanted to show our gratitude.
Gardening Rain or Shine
The rain won't stop us! The weather tried to rain us off this week when our green-fingered resident Sarah was planting some new herbs and flowers for our gardens. So we brought the outdoors in!
Sarah is a very proud gardener and has been working very hard to get our new planters thriving for summer. Gardening is one of Sarah's favourite things to do, so we make sure that even when skies are grey, the planting can still go ahead. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks to see it all come together!
Can't Stop the Music
We had a wonderful afternoon yesterday with music and entertainment from Jon & Pam Baddley! Our residents had the best time, singing and clapping along with some of their favourite tunes and dancing along to Jon's ukelele and clarinet playing too!
Thank you again and we're looking forward to welcoming you back next time.
International Nurses Day
We celebrated International Nurses day at the home with General Manager Rebecca presenting all of our nurses and valued members of the team with goodie bags to say a special thank you for all their hard work and dedication to the home. Each and everyone one of our team members play an important part in our home - whole team approach!
Thank you for all of your hard work and the part you play in our home.
Birthday celebrations
A huge Happy Birthday to resident, Barbara who has celebrated her birthday recently. Birthdays are a firm feature on the homes life enrichment programme and we like to party!
Happy Birthday from everyone at Lawton Manor!
Story telling with Jon Sleigh
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
